LIBERTY OR DEATH.
Engel, Lingg and Fischer Do Not
Court Life Imprisonment.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-George Engel,
Louis Lingg and Adolph Fischer, of the
group of condemned anarchists, have
written open letters to Gov. Oglesby
refusing any Communication of sentence
short of liberty, and declaring undated
faith in principles of anarchy. The
letters are very long and consist mainly
of an explanation of their well known
ideas regarding the social conditions
existing and the necessity for remedies.
They declare, in substance, that they
are not guilty of any crime; that they
have exercised the right of free
speech, free thought and free as
semblage as guaranteed by the
constitution, and have criticised the eX-
listing evils and succored their fellow
citizens with their advice,as is the right
of every honest citizen. Their eXpe-
rience, they say, has eradicted their be-
lief in the existence of equal rlghls OF
poor and rich, aud the action of public
officers, the police and militia have pro-
duced the belief that the present cOndl-
lions cannot last long. Not being con-
scious of any guilt they say ''The pow
ers that be may murder, but cannot
legally punish Them" and protest
against the Communication OF sentence,
demanding either liberty OF deaun.
Fischer, in his letter, declares
amoug other things that if he is
held responsible for the death OF the
policemen at the Haymarket, every
abolitionist could have been held re-
sponsible for the deeds of John Brown;
therefore he could not ask or accept
mercy" without lowering himself in
his self estimation. He asks if defam-
ing and disappearing the advocates
and teachings of social reconstruction
will do any good, and as an answer
quotes an excerpt from Benjamin
Franklin's essay, Rules for Reducing
a Great Empire to Small One," dedl-
Gated to the English government in
1716. in which Franklin says: If few
'factious demagogues' should be
hanged the blood of martyrs shall work
miracles in favor of your purpose Il. e.,
your own ruin)."

HURTING THEMSELVES.

The condemned anarchists are not
being helped particle by the threaten
ing letters their comrades outside of the
Jail are writing to prominent officials.
This is not a country where people scare
easily. The effect of this letter-writing
business is only to intensity public SEN
timent against the condemned men, and
to lessen the chances of a communication
of the death sentence. There are per-
sons, and good many of them, who
have no sort of sympathy for the an
archists, yet who do not agree with the
conclusions arrived at by the supreme
court of Illinois. They think that the
evidence did not Justify the severity of
the verdict. Consequently people of
that way of thinking were willing to
present their views of the case to Gov.
OGLEsBY in the hope of influencing him
to adopt their way of thinking and tOcOm-
mute the death sentence to life imprison-
ment. But the letters which the imme-
diate friends of the condemned men and
those who Sympathize with their social
istic opinions have been sending to
public officers, from the president of the
United States down to the police officials
in Chicago, are of such Il character as to
leave but little doubt in the mind of any
reasonable person that the seven an
archists now in the Cook county jail
awaiting execution deserve their fate.
If the best results Of anarchiSm are the
assassination of public officials because
they are forced to perform duty the
law requires of them, then the sooner
all anarchists are swung up by the neck
the better it will be for society. Their
hanging would be justified on general
principles, without the necessity of
waiting for conviction of some specific
crime

GOV. GORDON
Makes Another Stirring Speech
at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 1.-GOy. j. 3. Cor
don, of Georgia, addressed large audi
ence at Music hall tonight. At the end
of his speech he offered to answer any
questions that might be asked him.
What have you TO say of Gen. Jackson's
speech at Macon?' inquired man in the
audience.
Nothing" said Gov. Gordon.
do you consider it treasonable?" asked
the same man.
81 have nothing to say was the governors
reply.
introduced the governor. Gen. Morgan
closed his eulogy by referring to the
stars and stripes, saying that it was the
only flag that could henceforth wave
over the North and South. Just then
Gov. Gordon walked rapidly to where
Gen. Morgan was standing and kissed
him directly in the mouth. II have not
come to Ohio to discuss local issues"
said the governor when he began his
speech. II am profoundly impressed
with the conviction that the sooner the
barriers that divide Ohio aud Georgia
are broken down the better: 1t will be
for your interests and for mine. l shall
of myself, nor shall 1 attempt a
reply to the unwarranted, ungra-
cious and ungentlemanly attacks upon
my character. AT Appomattox on the
night of the 9th of April, when the air
was still murky with the smoke of war,
before we had been paroled, l sat OH my
horse and gathering around me the rem
nantS of my shattered army, began to
presch the reunion of my country. l
defy any man to put his finger upon
one word that has escaped my lips since
then inconsistent with that declaration.
God knows we have suffered enough by
war. We do not want any more of it,
but l have sometimes thought that
1 would be willing to see
one more war, that we might
march under the stars and stripes,
shoulder to shoulder, against common
foe. If could call the lightning down
tonight would blast forever this hor-
rible feeling of sectional hate" Gov.
Gordon then read an extract from Re-
publican paper saying that his hands
were still red with the blood of innO-
cent negroes. He then walked to the
edge of the platform and asked the re-
porters of Republican papers if they
saw any blood ON his hands. He paid
high tribute to the faithfulneSS of the
blacks in the South, saying that they
had remained behind during the re-
bellion and had protected the wives and
daughters of their masters. The greater
part of the speech was devoted in an
swering the attacks made upon him by

CHAMBERLAfN's COMING.

While CHAMBERLAIN is coming over
here as the representative of the British
government, for the Ostensible purpose
of fixing up the fishery treaty, it is
fairly well understood that the real OBJ
jeet of his mission is to prevent Canada
from forming a commercial union with
the United States. CHAMBERLAIN
doesn't hesitate to say that in his Opin-
ion commercial union between Canada
and this country will finally result in
the separation of the dominion from the
British empire. That is evidently the
view the British cabinet now take of
this matter. The ministers know full
well that if the result should be as
CHAMBERLAIN predicts the present cab
met will be held responsible for all time
for permitting this commercial treaty to
be established during their admiRistra-
ton. The fact is the British government
takes but very little interest in the fish
cries dispute. 1t looks upon that as
local matter affecting no part of
the empire except the dominion of
Canada, and consequently the home
government is disposed to leave the set
Element of that controversy practically
In the hands of the dominion authOri-
ties. But the home government does
view with serious alarm the growing
disposition among its Canadian subjects
to establish separate commercial rela-
lions with this country, and that is why
CHAMBERLAIN has been sent over here
to try to check it. The British govern
ment is not swift to exert itself in re-
dressing the wrongs, either real or i'm
aginary, of its provinces, but when
there is prospect of losing some of its
territory or the curtailing of its sources
of revenue, its activity is marvel.

JOSEPH HowARD's LETTERS.

The supreme court of the United
States will render its decision in the an
archist case to-day or tomorrow, and
according to the opinion of the best law
yers at the national capital, it will be
adverse to the application for a writ of
error. In anticipation of this decision,
the GLOBE has secured the services of
JOSEPH HOWARD, Jr., to act as its spe-
cial correspondent at Chicago for the
purpose of writing up the execution of
the anarchists and the scenes preceding
it. Mr. HOWARD is the best known
newspaper correspondent in this coun-
try, and one of the most brilliant de-
seriptive writers in the world. The
first of his series of letters telegraphed
from Chicago appears in this mornings
GLOBE, and they will be continued from
day to day until after the execution of
the condemned anarchists.

fitone. There is nothing yet to show
that the retirement of Warden REED
was not proper. But the very same
reasons which made REEDS removal
proper apply now with double force to
SToRDoCK. His administration has in
volved the prison in foul scandal which
has brought reproach upon the good
name of the state. The thing for the
governor to do is to send SToRDoCK to
meet REED and then let them fight
their personal differences out in the
courts to their hearts content. What the
people of Minnesota want is the APP
pointment of men to fill offices of t rust
whose names are the synonym of honor,
and whose characters no one will have
the temerity to impeach.

THE discovery that the life preservers with
which the ill-faled lake steamer Vernon was
equipped were made of grass instead of cork,
and that they sank like lead when saturated
with water, makes the captain Of the boat de-
serving of the fate he has in all probability
suffered. The captain of any vessel. who
doesn't see to it that the lives of those in his
charge are protected in the carefulest posi-
BILE manner against death, deserves to be
tossed into the ocean with a milestone tied
to his neck and ordered to sink or swim. The
milestone would probably persuade him to
choose the former condition.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

Every Sunday school scholar has listened
with intensest interest to the story of the con-
version of the Sandwich Islanders to Chris
tianity They have heard with thankful
hearts how a race of cannibals were con-
verted into respectable church going popu-
lation, and how the inhabitants of the
island now assemble at the ringing of the
church bell, for divine worship, on the very
spot where their fathers and grandfathers
held their savage orgies. and roasted human
flesh was the daintiest dish of the feast.
-
And yet these same Sunday scholars will be
panied to learn that the conversion of the
Sandwich Islanders has resulted in their al
most total determination. The native popu-
lation has dwindled from 900, the num-
Der at the time Cook explored the islands,
down to about 81, ZOO, the remnant left at
this time. The diseases of civilization have
played havoc with the native Sandwiches,
while drunkenness and other vices, which
seem to be the landmarks of modern civiliza-
ton. have slain their thousands and tens Of
